Car Valeting Services

Prices from £60.

Car washing plays an essential part in maintaining the appearance of your vehicle. Valeting and machine polishing your car will help you achieve the best possible look for your car without any paint correction services.

In order to achieve and maintain a perfect shine, you must protect it from natural deterioration and dullness that occurs over time. Also car valeting and machine polishing will help to eliminate any defects like swirl marks introduced by bad car washing techniques that are common for home car washing or cheap car hand washes available on streets or supermarket car parks.

Under Chassis Wash and Wax.

Under Chassis Wash and Wax

Cost: Small Vehicles £20, Medium Vehicles £25, Large Vehicles £30.

A new wash care program that cleans and helps prevent corrosion of the underside that I have recently introduced.

Due to massive demand from clients to wash and help protect the under chassis from winter months of driving , where roads are covered in highly corrosive salts.

The procedure also cleans the underside that generally never really gets cleaned regardless of the time of year helping to remove all unwanted mud, that generally sticks to the underside of a vehicle and remains there helping and aiding corrosion to develop.
